-Thanks. -Yep.
-Good work! -Thanks!
We worked hard today.
We did.
It's pitch black.
The day flew by.
The first day of rehearsals is always the toughest.
Yeah.
It's been so long that I forgot so many things.
We played some songs we haven't in forever.
It'd be great if we could permanently memorize hundreds of songs~
We'll be performing some songs that we've only performed on album tours so far.
When that happens,
-it makes me go, "What did the excitement feel like then?" -Yeah.
Also, you can really tell what arrangement habits we had depending on the era.
Ah, I totally get that.
Like I can tell when we were obsessed with making all patterns have different musical phrases.
-We do have times like that. -Yeah.
-But it's looking like it'll turn out great. -Yeah.
I think so.
It's our last excitement for the year.
-It's because the NAKED team's working with us. -Rightー!
-I just want watch [the footage the NAKED team made] with the audience. -Same.
-But it's just really good. I don't think it's been done before. -Yeah.
It really is awesome.
-I want everyone to see it. -Right?
-TOMO and HARU are behind us. -Oh!
We're thankful to everyone who's going to our concert.
Yeah, we are.
We truly are.
So we'll also go all out
and make sure everything's safe and sound.
Yeah.
There's no other choice but to do what we can now.
-In any way we can. -Yeah.
So, for better or worse...
The music that we make...
Like...
It supports people and makes them want to do their best.
It's the same for us.
It supports us too.
There have been a lot of times when I didn't know how to be supportive.
Ah, but that's totally understandable.
Like, even if I want to write a song, I can't.
Whatever lyrics I write,
they don't resonate with me.
Like, there are a lot of times when I think, "Do I need to use this word right now?"
The current state of things applies to everyone,
so it's like you're unsure if you should say "Hang in there."
That's definitely not what you should say.
I'm currently searching for words or songs that feel right.
It's difficult, but it's important.
I don't know what's right.
But, like,
Well, ultimately,
-if you were to tell me you can't write even 1mm, I know that's not the case. -Yeah.
Right now I can't write whenever I feel like it.
-Like you think, "Isn't this it?" -Yeah.
Honestly speaking.
Aren't [musicians] divided into two extremes?
Like there are musicians who can do things super stoically.
Yeah.
-And then there are those who can no longer write at all. -Yeah.
I understand both,
and I kind of think we're the type that can write songs if we have the time to do so.
Yeah.
Recently, we've finally been able make new songs little by little.
Yeah.
It's great that we're honest with ourselves and write our own songs.
Yeah.
So, how I can put this...
-I think we're able to now songs that unravel who we are. -I totally get that.
There definitely are songs that can only be written at a given time.
Yeah.
Our feelings don't change that much every day, do they?
Yeah.
There are all kinds of news topics every day.
That's true.
Every day our moods continue to go up and down.
But I'm sure there's nothing that you can't get past.
Yeah.
That becomes important.
I'm starving.
-It's already this late? -Right?
When you're in a studio, it's suddenly nighttime in a flash.
That's true.
When you go home when it's this dark out, at about 9 pm,
do you then make dinner?
I don't.
Like, frozen stuff...
-Ah, pre-prepared stuff. -Yeah. -I see.
I microwave it and then eat it.
I totally get that.
-Or I order food via Uber. -Yeah.
-Ordering takeout. -Yeah.
But there are also times when I really want to eat onigiri (rice balls) or sandwiches from a convenience store.
Oh?
-Which do you like? -Negitoro (tuna with green onion).
That was so quick!
I love negitoro so much.
-Negitoro's great. -It is.
I mean, making negitoro at home...
Yeah, and it's only a single serving.
Yeah.
I like that really big harami (salmon belly) thing.
-Ah, that salmon one. -Yeah.
I know that one.
-The one wrapped in Japanese paper. -Yeah.
-You do like salmon. -I love it.
It's delicious.
-Also, "sea chicken" (canned tuna). -Yeah. That's delicious.
I wonder why mayo on tuna makes me feel so happy.
I always think that.
-You know, my little sister, -Yeah?
when she was a kid, around elementary/middle school,
on a homework printout...
It said something like, "Separate river fish from creatures in the sea,"
and my sister asked me,
"Where does 'sea chicken' belong?"
That's so cute!
That is!
I always think about that when I buy "sea chicken" onigiri.
"Sea chicken," huh...
How merry.
It might live in both.
That's true.
There might be a type that lives in both.
No one knows what will happen until the 24th.
That's true.
I hope we're able to safely do it.
But today, it was great that all of the mics were covered in plastic.
-Let's first get through this year. -Yeah, let's.
-First, let's play a great concert. -Yeah.
Exactly.
-That's about it for today. -Yeah.
-Thanks for doing a lot of chatting with me. -Not at all.
-Good work today. -Good work!
You guys too, good work.
I'll post another video soon.
Thanks for watching today too.
So dark!
Bye bye!
Bonus
We're in MAMI's garage.
My garage. I hope I can do this.
-You can always do it on the first level, right? -Yeah.
We did it! Ah, it's so dark.
Thanks!
